Sacred Space Reimagined
Nestled on High Pavement in Nottingham's Lace Market, Pitcher & Piano inhabits the shell of a deconsecrated Victorian Gothic church, a Grade II-listed gem that once echoed with sermons. High vaulted ceilings draw your gaze upward, while colorful stained-glass windows filter light into kaleidoscopic patterns across the stone floors. The central bar anchors the cavernous nave, where original arches frame intimate seating nooks, blending reverence with contemporary energy.Atmospheric Transformations
By day, sunlight streams through the glass, illuminating cosy booths ideal for leisurely brunches or lunches amid the quiet grandeur. As evening descends, lights dim, music pulses, and the space awakens into a dynamic bar buzzing with groups and couples. A repurposed confessional booth now serves as a playful photo spot, highlighting the venue's cheeky fusion of past piety and present party spirit.Culinary and Cocktail Symphony
The all-day menu caters to every hour, from morning coffees and brunch dishes to hearty pub classics like burgers, flatbreads topped with halloumi or spiced chicken, and sharing plates of mussels or salads. Cocktails steal the show with inventive mixes, complemented by an extensive wine list and craft beers. Sunday roasts offer a traditional respite, while bottomless brunch options fuel weekend festivities with unlimited Prosecco or spritzes paired with savoury staples.Event-Ready Versatility
Multiple areas enhance its appeal for gatherings: the semi-private Altar beneath the iconic stained-glass window suits intimate events; a terrace bar invites outdoor lounging; and larger mezzanine spaces accommodate bigger crowds with no hire fees. Live music weekly adds to the draw, making it a go-to for birthdays, after-work drinks, or corporate knees-ups in a setting that feels both grand and accessible.Lace Market Legacy
High Pavement's historic lane places Pitcher & Piano amid Nottingham's creative heart, near galleries and medieval churches. The venue's restoration preserves architectural details like brickwork and high roofs, creating an intimate yet expansive feel in what could have been an echoing void. This thoughtful conversion honors the building's heritage while crafting a modern social hub.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
